FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[Korialstrasz]

00001.dat is the one you can skip that people said to replace, but since it can be skipped it doesn't need to be replaced. If the new character one can be replaced that's great, but 00001.dat isn't it.

[Niiro]

I just assumed that was the CS people were referring to.

How often are people making new characters that the intro CSs are so bothersome?

[Sephiroth]

I'm trying to make 7 characters on Excalibur so I can transfer all 8 with 1mil gil on each. In part of my preparation I've also created a couple of characters on my destination server via my alt. Though I've yet to actually see character creation open up on the server since I began my transfer prep so I have bigger issues than skipping the opening cutscenes I guess.

[Obsidian]

It would be significantly cheaper to just transfer one character and use the other $140 to just buy the gil back.

Nah, with the standard and legacy account you can create up to 8 characters on a single server and you can transfer all of them with a single transfer. You can transfer 9.6mil gil this way if you want, but you don't unlock retainers until like level 18 or whatever and I don't have time or the will to do that shit x7.

I was under the impression that each transfer was individual. My bad.

Sephiroth don't be silly, go on the Market board and buy every allagan coins you can. You know, these coins rewarded by NPCs which you can sell betwin 25 & 2500 gils each, people stack them on the MB. Buy the ones that are on sale for the regular price and sell them to the NPC when you are on your new server.

In theory yeah, in practise no. What little of those coins are on the boards are priced at a 10-20% loss that I'm not willing to take. Not viable when you have millions of gil. I have a lot of gil left over from 1.0 so transferring is a chore. Going with materia mostly.

Its really worth all that trouble? Fuck I'd take the 15% hit and spend a day crafting to make up for it. I mean shit Gil just rolls in now. Having to do all that df/random running is not worth under 2mil.

[Skai]

It's times like this I am glad I'm poor, haha.

All the coins on the AH probably total up to less than 200k man. I don't want to brag about my wealth but that really is not a solution. Anyway I've transferred now but left a lot of gil with my alt. I'll probably transfer that as well some day.

coil 2 dupes pls stop

is this a real thing now

[Obsidian]

Next Fending bracelet we get is going free. Think Healing neck is the same deal. We've been drowned in accessories so far.

[Null]

is this a real thing now

All 3 of my mules have drg hands and accs from t6. We passed casting feet to a ilvl 59 blm wearing ak gear because the other mages already had them. Seems like 3 weeks in a row getting healing body / neck combo from t7.

[Shaano]

oh thought straight up duping returned.

[FHT]

Inb4 people get outraged against the RNG again because its affect coil and not the atmas drop rate.

[Shenrien]

I love people who bitch about RNG and think the only stuff in the game that is RNG based is Atma. I miss coil 1's DRG belt palooza.

oh its fine ~_~ we use to have tons of them. When my FC mostly disbanded I was thinking of jumping too. Had at the time a little over 20mil. I bought up a decent chunk of them. I got very lucky that I found a old LS from my FF11 days that I ran still around LOL.

Trust me I understand the "1 percent" pain you feel right now. It sucks but I really feel if you made that gil(not pre 2.0) like I did, you can make it back. There is little to do with gil outside housing/i90 gear, add in that odds are you can just craft yourself i90 if you have that kinda gil and there is even less to do with it.

Still I am just seeing it how I did when I looked at jumping servers. I wish you the best of luck at finding a way to move it all. If you really can put up with doing that many 1~20 or whatever it is, it is by far the best way to move the gil.

My point was (my bad) & Inb4: Yes but atma is casual/Coil is for skilled player blablabla.

When you go on the OF you read "Man I spent 3 days farming an atma and got nothing when this guy came & got it in 5 mins" General playerbase half assed answer: You are not forced to do it, & btw I got all my 12 atmas in 10h so its not that bad."

Then these same lucky players who get 12 atmas in 10h go to do Coil 4 weeks in a row and get this exact same DRG/Healer whatever piece of gear 4 times, what happen next? They QQ about the RNG, in the same way other people "QQ" because they spent 3 days for one atma.

So I was just making a little bit of sarcasm, on how hypocrit this whole RNG argument can be.

And I'm not targeting anyone here btw, I was just making a comment aiming at the generality of the playerbase.
